RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

...this smolders with intensity and bright citrus, apricot, smoke and spice notes. The oak is very well-integrated, and this is lively and lingers on the finish.

90-92The Wine Advocate

Light to medium-bodied, bright, and exhibiting outstanding purity, this concentrated, refined wine also reveals an admirably long finish.

89-91Stephen Tanzer

Reticent on the nose. Then juicy and penetrating in the mouth, with precise apple, spice and floral flavors.

It is nearly in the center of the Premier Crus and is the largest Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet.

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
